Note: All passengers traveling to Russia require a visa. It is the passenger’s responsibility to obtain any required visa and/or documents prior to departure. Please allow approximately 4-6 weeks for processing.
Due to airline schedules beyond the control of Viking River Cruises, flights to/from Russia may require a hotel overnight. Viking River Cruises can assist with hotel reservations, but any associated costs for the overnight will be at the passenger’s expense.
Fountains at Peterhof Palace may not be operating early or late in the season due to cold weather conditions.
Schedules and activities are subject to change depending upon river water levels, port accessibility, and weather conditions. Tours often include walks over cobblestones, steps and uneven ground; for passenger safety and enjoyment, we recommend you be in good physical condition to participate fully in all tours. For safety reasons, sun deck access may be limited during times of high water levels/low bridge clearance.
This itinerary is also available in the reverse direction. Port sequence, tours and times may vary.
